Draft Grade — Saints
Overall

FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B-. Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Saints never addressed cornerback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
Every board in the league had Grant lower, and that gap is the story. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In pick 9 they get a wrecking ball inside, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton at the 40th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
